Thursday Fiction

This is a big change for me--writing fiction. But today I'm in the mood to be silly and I was motivated to write a follow-up to my last post.

Mining Journal - Day 4
The entrance to the diamond mine (under the kitchen table) is clear again after yesterday's cave-in. I suspected the tower of empty Pizza Hut boxes wasn't stable, but I didn't think it would collapse into the mine. I need to order PapaJohn's next time.

The mining work is harder than expected. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken it on alone. Sleep evades me--I keep seeing the herd of dust bunnies I wiped out. The first few were an accident, but when the survivors mounted a counter-attack, I had no choice but to turn the Dustbuster on them. I don't think I'll ever get their dust off my conscience--or out of my sinuses.

No sign of diamonds yet. My spirits are sagging. Today things went from bad to worse. Bandit ate my HotPocket and I'm almost out of Dr. Pepper. The only thing keeping me going is the knowledge that Toothfairy is organizing a team of bloggers to assist me. Got to hold on!

Hurry bloggers, HURRY!!! (It's finders keepers on the diamonds.)

Things will be okay when they get here. They will have no problem clearing out the neighboring dust bunny herds (mopping/dusting), re-stocking provisions (grocery shopping), and making sure the mine is kept clear of those dumb pizza boxes (take out garbage). It would be great if one of them would handle the cooking. And, of course, someone to do laundry, someone to iron, someone to do dishes, etc., etc., etc. Hmmm, if one of the bloggers will pay the bills, I wouldn’t even need any diamonds!!!

Once they arrive I can just go laze on the couch. Hurry bloggers! LOL!


PS - This crazy post might make a LITTLE sense if you've read the Toothfairy's comment on my previous post--Return of the Stone. Rather than objecting or defending myself, I thought I might as well write something silly in response! =)
